great; and since you're wanting to charge in on this, please don't hesitate to ask questions as they arise, either here or on irc in #plasma or #plasma- mediacenter :) welcome to the project, btw :) > I think also that, if the project reach a good > state, we could start thinking to release absolutely; it's not a real project until releases get made ;) > a version of KDE that uses PMC as main eviroment, so there will be a > standard Kde version, a > netbook remix, and a mediacenter remix. my initial plans/hopes for PMC are to ship it as a feature of Plasma Desktop; both Windows and MacOS have media center apps that ship with them, so this would draw us to feature parity with them (and above all the other F/OSS desktop options out there at the same time in this regard :) that will get us a lot of feedback and testing, as our strongest base is still desktop users. then we can take that and start doing the work to make a proper stand-alone system. that will likely revolve around getting the input system (remotes, esp) working well and uPnp for media. i'd LOVE to see the ability to stream media from a Plasma Desktop or Amarok to a Plasma MC with "zero" user configuration. but that can be step 2, after step 1 of releasing it alongside Plasma Desktop for laptop/desktop users. what does everyone think about targetting 4.6 for a solid "step 1"? we can do a tech preview before then if PMC hits some milestones. we can work with openSuse and/or Kubuntu to roll such a thing.
